New Ping--And, No, I'm Not Talking About Apple

Matching Pings

Elise's new Ping arrived last month after weeks of communication with the manufacturer and the insurance company. It has been so worth it. The new infusion sets allow far more consistent insulin absorption, so we've been able to eliminate the blood sugar spikes we'd been seeing after site changes.

And the meter-remote is great! It's so nice to be able to bolus a moving child without worrying that she's going to pull her site out. As long as she stays within 10 feet of me, that is.

Special thanks go to Nana Stanna for the awesome hotel room. It was so cool that we couldn't talk the girls into going out on the town!
